A tax on guns and ammunition is agnostic to whether or not the money is used to fund worthwhile projects or if the tax is used to prevent the purchases in the first place. If a tax on the purchase of guns and ammuntion is illegal with regard to the poll tax precedent, then the Pitman Robertson act should also be illegal. In a sane world I could live with the Pittman Robertson act (and have), but in today's environment, if it must sacrificed in order to stop or slowdown the assault on our constitutional right to bear arms... then that is fine with me.
no need to change whats been working since 1938! these monies also aid in wildlife restoration projects, and the WTD, wild turkey and other species have been restored using these monies. this is one thing that needs to be kept intact at all costs, unless we as sportsman can shell out the 250-320 million dollars it generates a year. No need to fix what isnt broke, this administration on the other hand?!
